Hi -- can anyone recommend a handy little reminder tool for Ubuntu?
Just something I can quickly & easily set reminders in that will pop up &
annoy me until I deal with them.
Cheers,
Doug.

Thanks Rob,
I think your bits about backing up /home is something I've already done
- thnaks for the confirmation!
I'll try your suggestions about GRAMPS a.s.a.p. and report back.
Thanks again for your (and others) help.
Greg

I've just run:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
to reset my xorg.conf file automatically. I had followed instructions to get
graphics stable. The instructions had worked but I had giant font in login
windows and some apps.
Is that command of no use to Greg to return his xorg.conf file

I'm sorry if I've missed something here, but why can't the scrambled screen be
fixed ?
He had an error message about a missing nvidia driver.
All this windows talk of reinstalling. Granted it's quicker.
I know there is an evil linux genius amongst you who can fix it. I'd do it
myself but I'm only

Hi Rob & Neil,
I have no problem accessing my hard disc from Live DVD - I can read and
write everything from the disc once I've set myself up as a new user. As

partitioning of the hard drive.

Hi Everyone,
Back to my scrambled screen system - I've been functioning via Live User
DVD now for several weeks. I suppose my basic question - skirted around
via a number of little excursions - is, 'If I reinstall Ubuntu (8.04)
